• Is it possible to upgrade the Satellite A100-906 with 160 GB 7200 RPM HARD drive

  Hello guys,.

  First of all, I would like to congratulate all the people here for their good advice.
  As for my question, I want to upgrade my HARD drive. I have the laptop A100-906, which has a drive HARD 100 GB 5400 RPM Hitachi.

  The hard drive, I would like to buy, is also Hitachi but with the highest capacity (160 GB) and RPM faster (7200 against 5400).
  I wonder, if my laptop supports this drive and if I have problems with temperature and noise, because the HARD drive runs at 7200 RPM.

  To summarize the above, is it really useful to replace my old 5400 RPM HARD drive to a new 7200 RPM?
  Should I buy a new one with 5400 RPM to avoid having problems of temperature and noise?

  Please let me know your opinion and thank you in advance.

  Hello

  As you already know we can only speculate on the size of the HARD disk
  In my opinion the 160 GB would be possible. But it s just my personal opinion.

  In any case, the higher speed (7200 RPM) HARD drive should be a problem. I noticed that many laptops use 7200 RPM HDDs and 5200 RPM. So I imagine that the heat produced by the HARD drive shouldn't t increase the level of temperature at a critical level.

• Win7 installation is possible on the Satellite A100-551?

  Satellite A100-551 with XP. Is it possible to upgrade to WINDOWS 7?
  Because Microsoft does not support on Windows xp and me advice (Council) to put my PC in Windows 7.

  Is it possible to get?

  Win 7 can be installed on most laptops, even if the drivers are not official released.

• Not possible to burn a DVD on the Satellite A100-338 using Windows DVD Maker

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A100. I'm trying to burn a DVD using Microsoft Windows DVD Maker and a Sony DVD - RW. The laptop has a carpet * a DVD-RAM UJ-850 s ATA device.

  When I try to burn a DVD, a progress bar appears and is about 2% before the hanging.

  I also tried to format the DVD first, and which is progressing well before coming up with an error message saying that the drive could not be formatted.

  Anyone got any ideas? Am I missing something completely obvious?

  Hello

  the following things could probably help you with your problem:

  -> control if a new BIOS for your machine and a new FIRMWARE update for your DVD player are available. Update the BIOS and the player firnware
  -> use another applications burning like Nero, CDBurnerXP or other thing that is usually know work well with almost all DVD - RW readers out there
  -> use a DIFFERENT brands of DVD media because the carpet * a readers are really picky

  If all these steps fail, then it is possible that your drive is defective and must be replaced.

  See you soon

• Satellite A100 PSAA8: I can type uppercase when caps lock is disabled

  Hello

  (First: I am not good in English because I'm from Holland.)

  I own a Satellite A100 PSAA8, it used to work very well :)
  But in recent weeks, I have a weird keyboard problem.
  I can type only uppercase when caps lock is off and I can't type all numbers at all, and a full stop is a: > and a comma is:
  I thought it was a software problem, so I formatted the hard drive, then I tried the Toshiba recovery disc.

  But it did not work I get some errors with symbol of missing files (or something like that) then in the window appears: 0:000 and all that I type it does not work. Then I got the Windows XP Pro. CD, but when I get to the chapter when I fill out my serial number, I still can't type any number and only uppercase letters with the caps to the large lock.

  Then I (tried) to install Windows 2000 and still I can't type any number, etc. (but the drive is empty: S) then I insert a live CD of Ubuntu and Ubuntu keys work perfect (?). I just isn't getting it. Help, please!

  Hello Ikke

  Believe me it is not easy to say with certainty what can be the problem?
  Please check if the keyboard is recognized correctly in the Device Manager. Also, be sure that the language settings are right. So many reasons for possible software for not functional keyboard.

  It is also possible that there is hardware problem. Maybe is the faulty keyboard cable or controller on the keyboard. It is also possible that the keyboard itself is defective.

  In my opinion you should contact the service authorized in your country. They can test with brand new keyboard and see if the keyboard is defective.

• Satellite A100 (PSAARA) - upgrade of RAM possible?

  Hello

  Just wondering if I could update my current ram in my laptop Satellite A100 and if so how?

  He is currently a Satellite A100 (PSAARA) with 2 GB of RAM.

  Processor: Intel (r) core (TM) 2 CPU T5200 @ 1.60 GHZ 1.60 GHz

  Running Vista 32 bit.

  What type of RAM upgrade I could on this system? And what code PIN?
  And I know that this may be a shot in the water, but is it possible to update the graphics card at all?

  Sorry am new on this... no idea what I'm doing, so if you could help I would appreciate it!

  Thank you

  > And I know that this may be a shot in the water, but is it possible to update the graphics card at all?
  No, the graphics card can not be upgraded

  > It's currently a Satellite A100 (PSAARA) with 2 GB of RAM. What type of RAM upgrade I could on this system? And what code PIN?

  I think modules laptop use the DDR2 533 MHz (PC2-4200) 200-PIN SODIMM, but AFAIK the 2 GB of RAM is max and this would mean that it of not possible to upgrade to 4 GB or more

  But to be 100% sure, you should consult your user manual.

• Satellite A100-033: I disabled the touchpad and now Fn + F9 won't allow

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A100-033 running Vista Home Basic. I use especially the laptop as a desktop replacement, and I do not like use the touchpad I disabled it, and instead, I use an external mouse via a USB port.

  I don't know if I disabled the touch pad by pressing Fn + F9 or by any other means (if it was by some other means that I forgot what it was). Recently, I wanted to re-enable the touchpad so that I could use the laptop outside the home. However, I found that by pressing Fn and F9 don't re - not allow the touchpad and I now can't use the touch pad at all.

  If I go into the properties of the mouse (in Control Panel), that tells me that my synaptics pointing device is enabled. If I go into Device Manager and look at 'mouse', I thought that my touchpad works properly.

  All this makes me suspect that the problem is not a hardware failure, but I changed a few settings, so that my touchpad is permanently disabled until I change the setting back to its original state.

  Help!

  Hello

  One of the solutions would be a system restore you could try to set the operating system to the point of time at the beginning. Perhaps that would help reactivate the touchpad.

  Conversely, you can try to reinstall the drivers for the Touchpad firstly I would recommend removing it from the Device Manager and then after restarting, you can try reinstalling the drivers downloaded!

  I would appreciate any comments from you

  Good bye

• How to disable the microphone on Satellite A100?

  Hello!

  First of all, I have a somewhat stupid question: what is my Satellite A100-547 has a built-in microphone? If she has one - how can I disable it and use the external microphone of my helmet?

  If I want to talk to others in Teamspeak, the others can hear something even if the microphone of the headset is not connected.
  So I guess, there must be a microphone; Pei

  Hello

  Internal microphone of this unit is not available. You can use an external microphone only.

  End of the story.

• Is it possible to upgrade the processor of the Satellite A100-906?

  Is it true that I can change my CPU in Satellite A100-906? For example, with Intel Core 2 Duo 2.16 Ghz processor?

  Hello

  I think that what John wanted to say is: it is not possible because it s too expensive and you won´t win a really big speed. I Don t know where you read something, but I think that if you were a toshiba technician and would be familiar with electronics and machines, or especially with your machine you won´t have a problem to exchange it.

  I already tried to perform this Exchange on my Satellite P20 a few months ago. I can really tell you: he didn t really brings me a speed or performance. By upgrading your RAM or your drive hard, but does not with the exchange of your CPU, you will gain more performance.

  And it doesn´t matter what computer you have anyway if you have a Satellite, Satellite Pro, or a Tecra. The result is the same, because the models have all the same components (but not similar material :))

• Satellite A100-635: is it possible to use the DDR2-667 RAM

  I have a portable satellite a100-635 with 1024 MB of RAM DDR2-533. Is it possible to use the DDR2-667 RAM modules instead of 533 in this model? Thank you.

  P.S. I doubt because all portable satellite I've seen so far have been equipped with 533 modules by default. Still the chipset supports officially the DDR2-667 (Intel 945GM) modules.

  Hello

  I'm not 100% sure, but as the site says that it won't work, I think you can trust them, and it does not work.
  But if you want to try it, please post the result here.

• XD - bit (CPU function) disabled/not available for Satellite A100-PSAA9

  Last week, I bought the laptop Toshiba Satellite A100-847 (Satellite A100-SPAA9) which has an Intel Core 2 Duo, model T7200.

  Specifications Intel, this processor (as all Core and Core 2 processors) has the particularity of XD - bit, known in Windows like DEP. I had the unpleasant surprise to discover that this feature is
  reported by Windows as unavailable (in hardware). I got the electronic manual on the recovery CD (which is an edition that is older than the printed manual that comes in the package) that I can do this feature
  available (for some older models of Satellite) but I couldn't find any option in my BIOS to do this (my BIOS is made by Phoenix, version 2.0).

  I really want to know how to make this feature available/active as my processor socket and so is the operating system purchased with the laptop and more than that, this feature is something beneficial - specially designed for security reasons and supported by all modern processors and operating systems.
  What do I have to wait for an updated BIOS include this option (to activate the feature XD bit) or that it is automatically set as active/available (instead of disabled/not available)?

  I expect a well documented answer from someone who knows what I'm talking about.

  Thank you very much.

  Hello

  I know what you're talking about.
  Execute Disable Bit (xD-bit) Intel can help prevent certain malicious types of buffer overflow attacks when combined with a compatible operating system.
  Disabling malware code procedure is called the extension-> short adj. data protection

  Data Execution Prevention (DEP) helps prevent damage from viruses and other security threats that attack by running (executing) malicious code of the locations of memory that Windows and other programs should use. This type of threat causes damage by taking over one or more locations of memory used by a program. Then she spreads and harms other programs, files, and even your email contacts.

  Unlike an antivirus program or firewall, DEP does not prevent harmful programs from being installed on your computer. Instead, it monitors your programs to determine if they use the system safely memory. To do this, DEP software works alone or with compatible microprocessors to mark some memory locations as "non-executable".

  If a program tries to run malicious code or not a protected location, DEP closed the program and notifies you.
  DEP can take advantage of software and hardware support. To use DEP, your computer must be running Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2) or later version, or Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1 or later version. Software only DEP helps protect against certain types of malware attacks, but to take full advantage of the protection DEP can offer, your processor must support "execution protection".

  The Windows 32 bit (SP2) version supports bit off Execute (xD) so the computer function notebook processor is running in mode of extension (PEA) physical address.
  It is a technology based on hardware designed to mark the locations of memory as non-executable.
  If your processor doesn't support hardware DEP, you need to upgrade a processor that offers execution protection features.

  However, you can see the control panel-> system-> Advanced tab-> Performance settings-> Data Execution Prevention tab.

  By default, DEP is enabled only for essential Windows operating system programs and services. In order to protect more programs with DEP, select turn on DEP for all programs and services except those I select.
